Hello from Goma!

Hello from Goma! Dick and I are here, working with various programs and people, catching up on the new areas of work, the building projects (the Jubilee Training Center and the Grounds for Hope housing community), and looking ahead with the staff. The visitors here are Ned, from S. Carolina, working with administrative capacities, Huw and Fred, surgeons from Saskatchewan teaching orthopedics and general surgery, and a group of 10 from Minneapolis (CPC) coming today to work with a variety of programs for a week. Andy, Sara and Cindy leave today after helping with grant writing, inputing research and working with Children Like Us, identifying handicapped people in villages who need medical treatment and support.

There's a fundraiser in Washington DC on 23 March for HEAL Africa (write to info@healafrica.org for more info).

LUMO the film will be shown at the Human Rights Watch film festival in London, England, the 23rd as well. The film crew of LUMO has been here for two weeks and they'll be going from here to London, then to North Carolina Africa Documentary Film Festival April 12th. PBS has chosen LUMO for it's POV series, and it will be broadcast in October 07.

Thanks for the help and support in getting out the message!
